Responsible Gaming
1. Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or visiting a restaurant. It should never be considered a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
2. Age Verification
All gambling activities are strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years or over in the United Kingdom. By using any betting site, you confirm that you are of legal age and understand your local gambling regulations. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or participate in gambling activities.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or past gambling sessions
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money
- Lying to family, friends, or healthcare professionals about the extent of your gambling
- Jeopardising relationships, work, or educational opportunities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or becoming financially desperate to fund gambling
- Experiencing irritability or mood swings when attempting to reduce gambling
- Gambling despite the negative consequences on your mental or physical health
4. Self-Help Tools
Most reputable betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control of your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a set period
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from a betting site
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling
We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
